We leave the station Triel to reach the banks of the Seine. On the opposite bank, proudly stands the Cathedral of Mantes la Jolie. However, for our trip, we prefer the St Martin .
Namely: after numerous battles between Norman and Capetian Parish Triel finally annexed to the royal domain in 1109. The city, freed in 1221 by Philippe Auguste, which is attached to the provost depend also common Andrésy, Careers, Denouval, Conflans, Chanteloup, Maurecourt, Vaulx, Verneuil and Vernouillet and this, until 1900. A church was erected on the hill and then enlarged in the 15th and 16th. Under the arch of 1550, passes the King's Road which leads to a ford. Much later, a suspension bridge was inaugurated in 1838. Only way to cross the Seine, this access fee is destroyed by the French in 1940 to halt the advancing Germans. Over time, economic activity revolves around the quarrying of gypsum or plaster (18th in 1950) but also of the vineyard (dispersed by phylloxera). Therefore, writers - Guy de Maupassant, Paul Fort, Rozerot Jeanne (mistress of Zola), an actress - Denise Grey and explorer - Marcel Izy Schart, settled in the city. Home Senet illustrates the charm of the bourgeoisie built at that time. Built on a spacious park for mayor in 1895, it was bought by the town in 1983 and converted into a socio-cultural center. On the banks, the home Castelet also illustrates this type of sophisticated villas.
We then go back to Fontenelles bifurquons to skirt the dangerous forest of Hautil. From its heights, we enjoy a beautiful view of the meandering river. Afterwards, we went around Vaux sur Seine win the castle park located near Fort Beauregard cow. We cross the woods to lead the Castle Menucourt placed near his pond. We also appreciate his St Leger before continuing our journey towards Courdimanche.
Namely: Menucourt is mentioned for the first time in 1201 in a document to the abbey Ressons. The fee is then up to Hugh de Breuil, Viscount Meulan, then it passes from hand to hand until Chassepot Beaumont, lords from 1656 until revolution. Through the intervention of the municipality, the family can retain its property until 1838. During the 19th, the millstone and gypsum are mined in the forest of Hautil. Meanwhile, tile and pearling occupy the former peasants who struggle to survive with the culture of pears sold at the Halles de Paris. The population of the land seized in the late 20th century with the new town of Cergy Pontoise.
Circling the golf course, we reach the marshes and then Vauréal Notre Dame de l'Assomption . There, in a covered walkway, lies a dolmen. Further, in the high tops, stands a menhir . Quietly we arrive at Jouy le Moutier, which stretches along the Oise. We discover its superb church of Our Lady of the Nativity . Continuing south, we pass through some woods and fields without ever seeing in the hollow of the hills, ancient mushroom. From there, the Gr countries leads us to the castle Fay installed on the plateau of white ribs. The mound of limestone is its name here!
Namely: to Vauréal , a covered walkway, housing 65 bodies attests to the presence of humans in the Neolithic. The hamlet was established as a parish in 1252 by the Bishop of Paris. The church is 13th burned by the British in 1432 and rebuilt in 1561. The manor, owned since 1644 by Antoine Guérapin, counselor of state, became a barony in 1656. The farmer-general of the king, Mr. Le Bel, acquires and sells the field to the Princesse de Conti La Roche Sur Yon. In 1786, the Marquise de Caumont buys it before it was dismantled during the Revolution. In the 19th, a new castle was built. It belongs to the publisher and Boussod art lover but also industrial Menier. If the vine until the 20th queen, she disappears in favor of the cultivation of fruit and vegetables, before the lands were invaded by the constructions. Jouy le Moutier is as old as Vauréal. The village is attested in the 11th century. Notre Dame de Paris and the monks of St Martin de Pontoise there have vineyards since the Middle Ages. The church, begun in the 12th, is the subject of six phases of construction until the 16th. The wine produced between the 17th and 18th is sold under the name Ginglet to local publicans. The winemakers are often found in the village inn for celebrate St Vincent, patron saint of winegrowers. But competition from wines from noon causes the decline in favor of the vineyard orchards. The castle of Fay, built in 1450, it dominates the town of Andrésy on a park of 40ha. Redesigned in the style of Louis XIII, it belongs in 1789 to Armand Damilliers of Thésigny. During the Revolution, the estate was acquired by Mr. Ste Marie which transforms the English park, fragmented and sells the land. In 1853, Leon is Lepic aide of Napoleon III, who acquired it for sale in 1861 to Gustave Roy, President of the Chamber of Commerce in Paris. The castle remained in the same family until 1973, to be transformed into a residence luxury hotel management.
back down, we will welcome the St Roch the heart of the town of Chanteloup, which boils down to only two long streets (Drinker and Petit Chanteloup). The church was built in 1514 for the Archbishop of Rouen, but it was not until 1708 to see her wearing slate. By taking the path Pissefontaine we find Triel.
